The team usually plays its home games at Rogers Centre, but due to border restrictions brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic had used TD Ballpark in Dunedin, Florida for April and May of the 2021 season, and Sahlen Field in Buffalo, New York for the 2020 season as well as June and July 2021, returning home to Toronto as of July 30.

The Blue Jays were approved as part of the 1977 Major League Baseball expansion discussions, after Toronto’s original plan of getting a Major League Baseball team by luring the Giants from San Francisco fell through; they would be added alongside the Seattle Mariners. The team was represented by legal counsel Herb Solway and Gord Kirke. Kirke prepared the original documents which led to the founding of the team in 1976.

Vs Yankees
The hottest team in baseball just did something that hasn’t been done in nearly 100 years. Thursday night the Toronto Blue Jays completed the four-game sweep of the AL East rival New York Yankees (TOR 6, NYY 4) at Yankee Stadium. The Blue Jays are the first team to sweep a four-game series in Yankee Stadium without the Yankees holding a single lead in the series since 1924.
Vs Yankees Prediction
This game should be close, but it’s likely that Toronto is able to carry their momentum into the series finale. The Blue Jays have the offensive advantage and a slight pitching edge, but the books have them as underdogs. This is a perfect spot to pick an upset because it shouldn’t be considered an upset at all. Lock in the Blue Jays.
FINAL PICK: Toronto Blue Jays ML (+105)
2021
2020 Season. Record: 77-63-0, 4th place in AL_East (Schedule and Results) Playoff Odds: 51.7% to make postseason, 3.4% to win World Series. Manager: Charlie Montoyo (77-63).
Schedule
The Blue Jays will play host to Shohei Ohtani, Mike Trout, and the Los Angeles Angels for a three-game series beginning on Aug. 26, the first time in three years fans in Toronto will get to see the two superstars. Four American League teams–the Angels, Astros, Rangers, and Mariners—will each play their first series at the Rogers Centre since 2019.
If the Blue Jays hope to make a run at the postseason in 2022, they’ll have to overcome a tough stretch to begin their season. Of their first 32 games, 26 are against clubs that currently have a winning record and are contending for a playoff spot this year. They play 16 consecutive games from mid-April to the start of May against the Red Sox, Astros, and Yankees, three teams with a combined winning percentage of .576; the Blue Jays are a collective 14-19 against them in 2021. The only consolation from that difficult run is that 10 of the games will be at home.
